Man Tied To Barn Has Chains Embedded In Skin

TO China, where Zhang Chuanqiu’s shackles have been embedded into his skin. Zhang, 27, is the subject of horrific story. He’s been chained to a cow shed in Hunan, southern China since 2005. A row with local officials over a loan to build his house results in Zhang being kept prisoner.

Says he:

“The only person who did not give up on me was my mother who waited for her time and rescued me…

“They cause me a lot of pain. They are always inflamed and ooze pus all the time. But we have no money so I have to rely on charity or the good heart of a hospital or doctor to save my hands.”
